Autosport prenosi najbitnije delove Motosprintovog intervjua sa Valentino Rossiem. Evo jednog zanimljivog detalja:
Rossi acknowledged that there would be some, particularly in Italy, who would be pleased to see him struggle on the Ducati.
"I'd split this group in two factions: one part is made of those who have always been against me, people who don't like me, people who supported [Max] Biaggi first, then [sete] Gibernau, and then [Casey] Stoner," said Rossi.
"The excuse was that Casey rode for Ducati, but the truth is these people don't like me. There's not much I can do about it, I must accept this situation.
"As for the other part, it's a group of Ducati fans who have always seen me as a rival, so they now struggle to accept me atop a Ducati. Overall, it's people who haven't looked at this union with favour. These are fans I would like to convince and win over with results and with the races."
